Angus R Shamal is a photographer in Amsterdam who recently put together a stellar collection of behind-the-scenes movie photography in the blog portion of his website. In fact it’s so stellar and got so popular so fast his server crashed before I finished putting this together the other day.

I encourage everyone who appreciates film to check out the full collection because it’s a real testament to the time and effort that used to go into movie making before you could just CGI the hell out of Optimus Prime or Jar Jar Binks. The whole thing really reinforces why I think 90% of 21st century movie making sucks. Eat that fat one everyone who’s ever called me overly critical!

Director haterade aside (not you Nolan, xoxo) the other super cool thing about the collection is how eye-opening some of the behind-the-scenes photography is when put in context with the scenes/movies they were filming. With that in mind I’ve handpicked my favorite eye-openers and sprinkled in mildly amusing one-liners for your surfing pleasure.

I guess this is how the internet works, but your sourcing is a bit flawed. All of these originally come from Aint it Cool, Angus R Shamal even states so. Should probably give credit where it’s due instead of giving it to the person that’s doing exactly what you are.

“A self portrait of Stanley Kubrick with his daughter, Jack Nicholson and the crew @ the set of The Shining.”

Original caption from Shamal’s blog – you know, where you stole this entire slideshow…and then added NOTHING with your clueless / lazy attempts at one liners. :/

You see, Kubrick was also a reknowned photographer. He’s actually just taking a picture of himself and his daughter – Nicolson just happened to be there by the mirror, resting between takes. But why research anything when you can steal others’ content and add pithy remarks like “No idea why this is like this. Kicks ass though. Derrrrrr”
